How It Works
- Upload your course notes
Clario processes your notes and builds a complete understanding of your course content — the foundation for accurate, course-specific explanations. - Identify the concept you want explained
Ask CLARA to explain any concept from your material, or select a topic from your AI summary that you want to understand more deeply. - CLARA explains in plain language
CLARA breaks down the concept step by step, uses analogies to make abstract ideas concrete, and connects it to related content already in your notes. - Ask follow-up questions until you truly understand
Unlike a textbook, CLARA responds to follow-up questions, re-explains from different angles, and confirms your understanding through questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the concept explainer available on all plans?
The interactive concept explainer (via CLARA) is a Premium feature. Free trial and Essential subscribers have access to AI summaries that explain key concepts from their notes in organized form. For interactive Q&A where you can ask follow-up questions, a Premium subscription is needed.
Can CLARA explain concepts that are not in my notes?
CLARA's explanations are grounded in your uploaded course material. She provides explanations based on what your professor covered, using the context of your specific course. For concepts not covered in your notes, her responses may be more general.
What if I still do not understand after CLARA explains it?
Ask CLARA to explain using a different analogy, break the concept into smaller steps, or connect it to something you already understand. Interactive explanations — where you can ask follow-ups until you get it — are far more effective than passive reading.
